1st CALL FOR PAPERS CVMP 2005 - 2nd European Conference on Visual Media Production The IEE, Savoy Place, London WC2R 0BL 30 November +1 December 2005 http://conferences.iee.org/CVMP Deadlines Submission deadline 12 May 2005 Notification of Acceptance end of July 2005 Final Camera-ready submission 16 September 2005 Date of Conference 30 November - 1 December 2005 Introduction CVMP 2005 is the second in a series of events bringing together practitioners in media production from film, broadcast and games with researchers in imaging and graphics. CVMP provides a European forum for discussion of the latest research advances and state-of-the-art industry practice in content production and post-production. Visual media production commonly makes use of developments that are at the convergence of image and video analysis with computer graphics. Image analysis has widespread application in visual media production including editing, annotation and special effects. New techniques in visual scene analysis are now commonplace in media production to combine synthetic and real elements. Emerging new delivery platforms, like e-cinema, high-resolution displays for the home and interactive media are asking for new approaches. The aim of the conference is to show how these techniques are used in current media production and to discuss their future influence on common practice. Call for Papers Papers are invited presenting novel research and practical applications related to media production. Topics include: Image and Video Analysis * Motion estimation * Spatio-temporal analysis and modelling * 3D-modelling from images and video * High-dynamic range imaging * Illumination and reflectance modelling * Image and model based scene representations * Integration of graphics and video * Image and video synthesis * Segmentation * Object detection and recognition * Image classification and annotation * Image enhancement and restoration * Photo-realistic rendering & animation of people System architectures * Real-time imaging systems * Post production using 3D and motion * Multiple camera systems * Novel capture devices Applications * Special effects for post-production * Visualisation * Interactive media and games * 3D-TV, stereo systems * TV, film and e-cinema * Content management systems This list is not exclusive and the organising committee welcomes contributions in all technical and application areas related to Visual Media Production. Authors of prospective contributions are asked to submit a complete paper of up to 10 A4 pages in length, including any figures, to the organisers by 12 May 2005. All papers should be produced in two column format and typed in 10-point Times New Roman font. Authors whose papers are selected for presentation will be asked to submit final "camera ready" versions for publication by 16 September 2005. Final versions will be published by the IEE, and copies of the proceedings will be provided to all conference delegates. All submissions should be submitted electronically.
